2008年是中国Web2.0发展非常迅速的一年，博客、视频分享、网络社区等服务已经成为中国网民上网的主要应用，此外的RSS、维基、微博客等也受到更多的关注。

据国外媒体报道，世界权威咨询企业波士顿咨询公司最近发布了《中国城市地区网民分析》，对Web2.0在中国的现状做了调查，结果显示中国正式成为“Web2.0强国”。
通常人们认为，与发达国家相比，中国在IT产业上是落后国家。但是在新一代的网络环境如网络游戏、网上社区、网络通讯等方面，中国凭借众多网友的积极参与和相互推动走在了发达国家的前面。虽然中国在以电子邮件、网络检索为中心的“Web1.0”时代落后于西方国家，但在“Web2.0”方面反倒超前于西方国家。

Having both a fine arts and a new media background, on Feb 21st I attended Moose Camp hosted by Northern Voice at UBC during the day and Fuse at the Vancouver art gallery during the night. It was here I got to observe these two cultures close at hand. Just like Dian Fossey and the Gorillas, I couldn't help but to compare the males of these species.

Check out our good friends Lee and Sachi LeFever's blog site as they have just posted a blog entry on their travel blog, The World Is Not Flat, that shares with the internet their ways of blogging while journeying around the world over the last year.

Raincity designed the site, while Bryght provides hosting and support. It's tough checking in on these guys cause we're all green with envy, but following their journeys and living vicariously through them over the last year has been a treat. Thanks for the video sharing show guys!

A Blog For Your Retirement

Raincity has just launched a new blog for all of your retirement needs. Living Without Borders is a community blog that provides a whole slew of information, knowledge and helpful tips under the broad umbrella of retirement.

The site was a spin-off concept from our recently launched MexRetire, and encompasses retirement topics from planning, to volunteering, to blueberry brain power.
